1, continuous tracking and monitoring is not easy. Aircraft carrier formation is a mobile combat force moving on the ocean. A huge aircraft carrier formation is like a lonely boat on the vast ocean. In the vast Wang Yang, it is not easy to find the sailing mother, and it is even more difficult to grasp her whereabouts.
In order to track and monitor the aircraft carrier formation of the United States, the Soviet Union established a marine satellite surveillance system. Fifty satellites were launched before and after. Even a nuclear-powered ocean surveillance satellite was launched, but this huge satellite surveillance system cannot guarantee continuous tracking and monitoring of every American aircraft carrier sailing on the ocean. In view of this satellite surveillance system, the US Navy has specially formulated a complete set of camouflage and deception tactics for maritime navigation carriers to offset the surveillance efficiency of the Soviet marine satellite system to the maximum extent. Therefore, for a country that mainly relies on land-based over-the-horizon radar to detect the real-time dynamics of aircraft carrier formation, its reconnaissance range, reconnaissance positioning accuracy and reliability of reconnaissance information will not be satisfactory. How can it be targeted without the necessary information about the movement of aircraft carriers? This is the first difficulty, and it is also the most complicated and difficult key link to solve. The cost of solving this problem will be staggering.
It is not easy to assemble the army. If we want to attack the American aircraft carrier battle group with strict attack and defense, we must invest necessary and sufficient troops. However, these participating troops are moving closer to the US aircraft carrier formation from all directions. This is a big problem in itself.
The reconnaissance advantage of the United States determines that it is impossible to secretly assemble head-on to the US aircraft carrier battle group. In the process of force assembly, it will inevitably be intercepted and attacked by the American aircraft carrier battle group. The cost of breaking through the aircraft carrier defense circle will be high.
3, it is not easy to break through the defense. As the internal defense circle of aircraft carrier, American aircraft carrier battle group is generally equipped with Aegis system to resist saturation attack. It can simultaneously resist the saturation attack of hundreds of missiles and fighter targets with different flying heights and speeds. It's already hard to break. The outer defense circle of the aircraft carrier battle group consists of carrier aircraft. Any surface warship formation that tries to break through the periphery of the carrier battle group will be saturated with harpoon anti-ship missiles projected by F- 18 fighters. If we want to break through the defense circle of carrier-based aircraft in the open sea, we must invest three times as much ground aviation power as American carrier-based aircraft. The operational effectiveness of an aircraft carrier-based fighter in the open sea is equivalent to that of three land-based fighters. This must be based on the premise that the combat radius of land-based fighters is deep enough into the open sea.
4, it is not easy to continue the strike. Finally cut into the defense circle of the American aircraft carrier battle group and launched an attack on the aircraft carrier battle group. This is a dilemma. If an attack formation that enters the aircraft carrier defense circle and enters the weapon attack range cannot repel or destroy the US aircraft carrier battle group after a volley, it will be attacked by the three-dimensional saturation of the US aircraft carrier battle group. It is difficult for subsequent ships to enter the defensive circle and attack again, and it is difficult for ships already in the defensive circle to return safely. It is difficult to hit the US aircraft carrier battle group hard by only launching a saturation attack on the US aircraft carrier battle group. It takes continuous fire assault and then assault to have a chance to hit or repel its aircraft carrier battle group.
The experience and methods of Russian aircraft carrier attack are inherited from the saturation attack theory of Marshal gorshkov of the former Soviet Union. Before Aegis appeared, this method was feasible and had great deterrent effect. At that time, the American aircraft carrier will even retreat from the oncoming Soviet guided missile destroyer. But after the Aegis system appeared and the air-launched harpoon was deployed. The Soviet Union's saturated attack tactics were rewarded. Finally, the Soviet Union realized that only carrier-based aircraft could erect an anti-aircraft umbrella for the Soviet Red Army in the open sea, to protect the surface warship formation of the Soviet Red Navy from breaking into the US carrier battle group, to cover the attack range of the Red Navy ships heading for the carrier-based missiles, and to launch a saturated attack on the US carrier battle group. As a result, the Soviet Union developed the "air defense cruiser", that is, the "Kuznetsov" class aircraft carrier. The way for the Soviet Union to crack the defense circle of the US aircraft carrier was to expel the US aircraft carrier with the outer Kuznetsov carrier aircraft. Under the cover of S-300F long-range air defense missile and SA-N-7 medium-range air defense missile, the Soviet surface warship formation (Kirov class \ Glorious class \ Modern class \ Fearless class) made a full-speed dash towards the American aircraft carrier formation. Strive to sail to the range capable of launching supersonic long-range anti-ship missiles as soon as possible and launch a saturation attack on the US aircraft carrier battle group. At the same time, the underwater cruise missile nuclear submarine, under the cover of attacking the nuclear submarine, assembled to the US aircraft carrier formation from all directions, and took the lead in launching the Granite supersonic anti-ship missile with a range of 550 kilometers to the aircraft carrier formation on the edge of the US aircraft carrier defense circle. The key to break through the "Aegis" system in the defense circle of aircraft carrier formation lies in the Soviet Union's special creation of supersonic sea-skimming anti-ship missiles.
At present, China's navy does not have such strength, and it is impossible to raid the US aircraft carrier battle group in the above way as the Soviet Red Navy did in its heyday. Therefore, China's navy has long been able to deter the formation of American aircraft carriers. Only submarine forces, especially China's nuclear submarine forces, are not highly regarded by the West. This is China's nuclear shield. It is also the cornerstone to prevent China and the United States from falling into a big country war.
In addition to the submarine forces of the navy, the medium-range missiles of the China Second Artillery Corps are also the main force to deter the formation of American aircraft carriers.
In recent years, with the development and deployment of new intelligent conventional medium-range missiles, China's deterrence against American aircraft carrier battle groups has been effectively enhanced.
